Several members of the tourism industry in the United Kingdom discovered Peru's rich cultural and natural treasures.

Peruvian destinations are captivating the British public! The Lata Expo 2024, a highly renowned tourism event in the United Kingdom, showcased Peru's exceptional tourism offerings from June 24 to 26. The event facilitated over 30 business meetings and engaged with over 250 representatives from key UK tourism companies specializing in Latin America.

To display Peru's rich cultural and natural treasures, the Lata Expo 2024 was a perfect platform. Sponsored by the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (PROMPERU), the event highlighted the best of Peru's regions: Ancash, Arequipa, Cusco, Ica, Lima, Loreto, Madre de Dios, and Puno. Additionally, they unveiled the bird route, spanning San Martin, Cajamarca, and Amazonas regions.

At the Lata Expo 2024 meetings, two crucial topics were addressed regarding Peru's global tourism promotion: diversifying the range of products offered and boosting sales for the country.
